Just spent two weeks in California - mostly visiting my daughter and grandson - been delighted to enjoy what seems like summer weather to those of us from UK. Yosemite was beautiful and somewhere...

Sometimes Miss, I love that story..the sense of smell is so amazing, isn't it? Just a whiff of something can trigger a memory you'd forgotten you had, takes you right back to the time and place. I...

No chance, Desiree. We would just be able to do it more often and have more fun and more excitement.

I think this presumption is simply symptomatic of the general lack of knowledge about crossdressers that has been discussed elsewhere. I agree totally with the original poster that it seems utterly...

Hello Mrs Dani...I'm sure you haven't signed up as Mrs Dani but without knowing more I shall call you that for now and hope you understand. Can I take this opportunity to say how pleased I am for...

Dani, I could not be more pleased for you - I am so glad you were able to "come clean" and that your wonderful wife was so understanding about it. The sense of relief once you have been able to be...

Indecision - I can never decide whether it's a good thing or a bad thing to procrastinate...!!!!

Having decided to tell my wife, I waited months for an opportunity and it went down like the...

That'll definitely be me!!! And my only regret is that I can't easily get more Michelle time at the moment to wear all those lovely clothes

...when you have more dresses and more skirts and more bras than your wife and she complains that she has no space in HER wardrobe because it is full of your dresses and maxi skirts.

(She does...

I think there are two significantly different groups involved here as has already been brought out - those who are transgendered/ transsexual and those of us who are guys dressing up. In some...

I think purging is always going to lead to regrets. I haven't ever purged - there are too many clothes I love to go through the angst of getting rid.

Given that we believe our urge to dress is...

My own view would be positively to avoid sleeveless tops/dresses because they leave your muscular arms and shoulders clearly visible. Go for emphasising the waist and hips - they are presumably...

Alice, I can well understand that there will be some people where one might feel that disclosure is simply not an available option. I certainly have parts of Stephen's life where Michelle is not...

Support groups are definitely a good way to get started. I actually felt really out of place at the first one I went to - there were about 6 or 7 t-girls there - all with full make-up, wig, breast...

Samantha, I'm not sure I am going to add anything new to this thread but I hope I can add a little encouragement.

Guilt and shame, as most others have already said, go with the territory - we've...

Camille, I'm with Reine on this - talk to them, join in their chats about clothes and make-up, etc. (If) When they realise that you have a valid opinion AND seem to know what you're talking about...

Welcome to the forums Rosemary - I'm not exactly an "old hand" here - clocked my 100th posting earlier this month but the internet does enable one to find like-minded people to talk to.

Before the...

Yeah, that Emmaus Road moment when you realised it isn't just me...I remember it well

The internet made such a colossal difference - as early respondents have said we suddenly have sisters all...

Definitely slowly at first - hosiery and lingerie, acquired by various devious means as well as legitimate ones!!! Followed by an odd item or two acquired in sales. Then at some point once Michelle...

I'm going with JustWendy on this - it was incredibly gradual. My first recollection of "playing" with my mother's underwear was pre-school - probably around 1956... And I continued along those lines...

Perfume? mmmmmmm....yes!

Not the final piece of the jigsaw for me - that is my hair. But perfume is definitely up there as a vital cog in the wheel of going out as Michelle. I tend not to wear...

"Relaxing"

Takes away the stresses of everyday life...

Laila, you said it..."a marriage is a team"

I'm sure we all feel for you and can empathise with the outcome of your "coming clean". Your wife's reaction, sadly, is nothing unusual. The initial...

OK, what KIND of man? How does one define a kind of man? Not sure.

I think, though, that there are differences between me as Stephen and me as Michelle. Partly that comes from being more...

I couldn't help laughing inwardly last night... We'd been out in the garden all afternoon, then I spent an hour on the Wii-Fit before going for a shower. "Will you be coming down as Stephen or...
